DramaThriller146 min

Aoy is a talented street-food cook whose life changes when she accepts a place in the kitchen of Chef Paul, an infamous figure in Thailand’s fine-dining world. Chutimon Chuengcharoensukying is Aoy, moving from street cooking into a regimented, high-pressure restaurant, while Nopachai Chaiyanam’s Paul runs his team with ruthless standards. Gunn Svasti appears as Tone, a sous chef who gives Aoy a steadier point of contact inside the hierarchy. As she pushes herself to keep up, the film follows the collision between ambition, class, and appetite in a kitchen where every dish is treated like a test.
